“The stat was only 2% of Americans adults have served any time in the military.”

FYI. Here’s the numbers and a link:

In U.S., 24% of Men, 2% of Women Are Veterans

Thanks. That data like most polls is skewed.

Here is data, from US 2010 Census, table 521, less skewed:

Number of Vets in 2010: 22,658,000

US population in 2010: 311,963,411

Percent of Veterans in USA in 2010: 7.263%

I don’t have the time and capability to find out how many retired vets and disabled vets, we have and their % of the population. This data should be gathered and used a club against the Obamaites to prevent cuts in $’ to our retired and disabled vets.

Again thanks to you for your service.
